Wine glass 18th-19th century

This 18th-19th century anonymous glass wine glass, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a simple yet elegant example of glassblowing during this period. The clear glass, shaped into a tall, slender form with a delicate foot, reflects the taste for refined and functional objects in daily life. The small size suggests it was intended for individual use, perhaps for enjoying a single serving of wine. This piece offers a glimpse into the history of glassmaking and the everyday objects that were integral to people's lives centuries ago.
